However, the groups have insisted that they haven't recorded any new music under their joint guise, but won't rule out the possibility of writing together on the road.

"For now it's just the tour, but if we come up with something and write some songs that we think are incredible, then we'll release it," Tom Fletcher said at the press conference in London yesterday (November 11).

"For now we're just focusing on going on tour and enjoying that process. We're just excited about touring for now and we'll play the rest by ear."

James Bourne added: "The plan is to tour, but there's no plan for new music, but maybe we will because we have written together in the past."

Speaking about writing together on the road, Danny Jones said: "The magic happens when you're on tour [and] we're all together. We've written a lot of albums on tour."

Harry Judd concluded: "We've talked about it, but our first thought is the tour. If something happens it has to be incredible and we will want to record it. It just depends on how the tour goes and what the reaction is like."

McBusted will headline arenas across the UK in April and May next year, with tickets to go on sale from 9am on November 15.

Meanwhile, McFly will release their new single 'Love Is On The Radio' on November 24.
